Begpardon?? Clinton was the first and only President in several decades to leave the Office with a budget balance or surplus. Before him was Nixon, before him Eisenhower, and before him Truman. Obama begins his second term in the Oval Office after adding six point one Trillion Dollars to the deficit. More than doubling it in just four years from the previous eight!
I have a similarly confusing sounding setup. Many external drives, lots of network gear, oodles of power cables. My monitor cables are bundled together (1 signal+1 power) from one end to the other, as are the external drive cables. The power blocks are all together. The cables are all laid and tied down in such a way that I can lift any one device and have instant end-to-end access to all associated cables. The USB gear feeds into a pair of 8-port hubs, giving me two cables into the computer. There are probably five cables visible above desk level.
Learn how to do a Google search, then look for image map input. An indicator of a valid input is the area of an image highlighting to show the input to the user. A poorly-designed interface that intends to mislead would show a very small area of the image dedicated to input from the wrong button. A well designed interface would show the area being input but not the intended result. I don't think the lowest bidder would be that careful.
The brain is both a computer and a not-computer. It is a biological system encompassing process of external stimuli and control of internal systems - including itself. The latter part of that description describes a computer, in the broad sense. The former part, an integrated, multitasking system with many, many inputs, an organic network which is constantly evolving (adapting) to meet the needs of the larger organism to fit its environment (or to allow it to change its environment to suit it). There is no artificial computer based on silicon that even comes close to the adaptability or complexity of the brain - not even considering the clock speed. That means precisely nothing when you're talking about a system that doesn't need a reboot every 47 days or grinds to a halt when it runs out of random access memory or shuts itself down when it gets too hot. The brain has other far more efficient protection mechanisms, far more efficient memory management, and a far superior kernel - any of which, if we could replicate it to anywhere near the quality that evolution has done, would revolutionise technology in a way not seen since the invention of the wheel.
I think you can legitimately download installation media if you then obey the stipulations attached to the license you already have, that being that you can run the system on one machine at a time. Microsoft have done this for years, in that they allow you to make a backup copy of your installation media. I have it from a senior Microsoft liaison with the British Software Alliance that it is within the bounds of the license limitations to download installation media in order to reuse an OEM license on the same machine as long as it remains in the possession and control of the same Person (individual or company) who originally bought that license. Selling a machine on "legally" involves the purchase of another OEM license (yeah, talk about cashcowing! This violates the Doctrine of First Sale and I told him so - for which he didn't have an answer).
if you can visually separate two pixels at normal viewing distance then the density isn't high enough. This might be of extreme importance if you're retouching photos.
I've got a second screen plugged in because the 15" panel on my laptop is TOO DAMN SMALL! 1366x768 is ridiculous! I've still got a Dell Latitude Celeron that has 1280x1024 on a 14" - and a P4 with 1600x1200 on a 15"! Where the fuck is my pin sharp resolution display that I had on a single core laptop that I couldn't *give* away even if I wanted to?
I'll tell you: flat panel televisions, that's where. 1440x900 for 720p and 1920x1200 for 1080p, while laptops get 1366x768 (yeah barely even 720p quality, forget HDTV!), and if you want 1080p standard on a market screen you're forced to fork out for a 22" Apple Cinema display or a Macbook Pro! Fucking joke...
By the way, it is possible to upgrade *most* laptop panels. Example: my Toshiba has a 15" panel which has 1366x768, so I'd need to find one which has the same frame size (15" diagonal at 16:9 aspect). The highest resolution panel I can find that meets those criteria is the Samsung Retina (for the Macbook Pro) at 2880x1800 which goes for around £90 a pop ($45 to produce, which is exactly the same unit production cost as a 720p panel the same size!). The GPU in the laptop would be able to drive that, also consider that the clock hardware is already on the panel so all I'd need to do is marry the connectors. Usually all that involves is inserting the loose end of a ribbon into an edge connector...
all I know is what I learned: never trust politicians. Especially politicians who use divisiveness and blame-laying to keep the People from realising that they're in it for themselves, screw everybody else, for as long as they can get away with it. That'll be all of them, then.

Then I wonder what I would do with it, and decide I have better things to spend my money on...

Photos would prove me either way.
No, it's 42.99999997

that'd make Pamela Anderson look flat chested...
2% is below average for an OEM. (IWAOEM (I was an OEM)). Most distributors have an RMA warranty for OEMs.
that... is a lot of juice... not something I could run in my garage then?
Will a computer ever be self aware?
Or will it always tell you that it's self-aware because that's what it's been programmed to do?

To do what? Start the count at a nonzero number to rig the ballot?
Remember folks: you saw it here first.

End of.
Is the Samsung P10 anywhere near market yet??

what's the power to weight ratio on an unladen STS transporter??
No further questions.
Hope you don't have any sins left to be forgiven. You'd have eight and a half minutes to list them.
I call bullshit on that - if a 747 can carry the Space Shuttle it can carry a solar plant ON TOP of the existing kerosene system.
